SUMMARY: INNER | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
This interface represents an entity, either parsed or unparsed,
in an XML document. Note that this models the entity itself
not the entity declaration. Entity
declaration modeling has been left for a later Level of the DOM
specification.
The nodeName
attribute that is inherited from
Node
contains the name of the entity.
An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before
the structure model is passed to the DOM; in this case there will
be no EntityReference
nodes in the document tree.
XML does not mandate that a non-validating XML processor read
and process entity declarations made in the external subset or
declared in external parameter entities. This means that parsed
entities declared in the external subset need not be expanded by
some classes of applications, and that the replacement text of the
entity may not be available. When the replacement
text is available, the corresponding Entity
node's
child list represents the structure of that replacement value.
Otherwise, the child list is empty.
The DOM Level 2 does not support editing Entity
nodes; if a user wants to make changes to the contents of an
Entity
, every related EntityReference
node has to be replaced in the structure model by a clone of the
Entity
's contents, and then the desired changes must
be made to each of those clones instead. Entity
nodes
and all their descendants are readonly.
An Entity
node does not have any parent.
Note: If the entity contains an unbound namespace prefix,
the namespaceURI
of the corresponding node in the
Entity
node subtree is null
. The same is
true for EntityReference
nodes that refer to this
entity, when they are created using the
createEntityReference
method of the
Document
interface. The DOM Level 2 does not support
any mechanism to resolve namespace prefixes.
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Core Specification.
